Enscape Impact Add-On

This brand-new add-on enables you to view your building's energy performance in the early stages of design, empowering you to make informed decisions about your design’s sustainability. It is compatible with Enscape 4.1 and 4.2.

  • Access advanced building performance data.
  • Communicate performance efficiency easily with stakeholders.

Revit Graphics Override

See material and color overrides in renderings as defined by Revit Filters. This feature ensures that rendering tools reflect the same object appearances and overrides used in Revit, enhancing workflow and presentation accuracy.

  • Maintain consistency between Revit and Enscape, streamlining the design and presentation process.
  • Control rendering views by displaying or hiding Revit Filter overrides in Enscape.

Support for WCS Mapping in Rhino

This feature allows you to utilize World Coordinate System (WCS) mapping for materials, providing a more flexible workflow and ensuring real-world scale and accuracy, especially for library materials set by default to use WCS mapping.

  • Get more accurate visual outputs with precise material rendering.
  • Streamline the design process with library materials that default to WCS mapping.

Software Ray-Tracing Improvements

The improvements are software ray-tracing for global illumination and sun shadows, which make your renders more lifelike. Enjoy more realistic lighting, detailed shadows, mirror-like reflections, and enhanced color accuracy. And your sun shadows benefit from more accurate light direction, intensity, and softness.

  • Deliver high-quality renders on any device, including Mac and machines with integrated graphics.
  • Achieve visual fidelity comparable to hardware ray-tracing on machines without it.

Multiple Section Planes

Section-cut drawings are critical for architectural understanding and communicating a space. This update enables Enscape to support rendering up to six section planes in Rhino and Clip Cubes in Vectorworks, enhancing detailed cross-sectional visualizations.

  • Get better client understanding and deliver impactful presentations.
  • Have more options for control and tell a design story exactly how you want to.

Chaos Cloud

This integration lets you perform every step of the design review process on Chaos Cloud. Upload panoramas and renders, and make annotations directly on your visualizations with markup tools. You can also assign floor plans and use a mini-map to assist with tour navigation.

  • Easily collaborate with your team and peers in one place
  • Let clients explore designs with advanced virtual tours

Chaos AI Enhancer

This functionality leverages AI to improve Enscape assets, specifically people and vegetation assets. Simply focus on designing and let AI elevate your visuals. Easily upload, enhance, and share images via Chaos Cloud while continuing to work in Enscape, saving time and maintaining productivity.

  • Get professional-level quality images without interruptions or performance loss to your Enscape workflow.
  • Share elevated visualizations to get your design intent across faster.
